14,000 ! Colorado and New Mexico, large
Republican gains I All this in one year !
What a healthy "reaction" this shows By
all means, let Mr. PENDLETON bring his
"angelic choir" to Penriailiania. Perhaps
lie, Smarr Cox, HENRY CLAY De and
C.- C. Bunn are to constitute the entranc
ing quartette, if the "condition of the can
vass in Ohio" will permit of his accepting
so brief an - engagement here. Which of
the four causing the lowest base ? '
GREAT are the Democracy on Daboll !
They were always good at Sabtitiaion,
tho' very backward in Division. But,
since the Vermont election, they have soared
into the mysterious realm of the Rule of
Three, and are cypheling very furiously at
Ratios and Proportions. One of their journals
before us concludes an elaborate article,
prepared for the ; express purpose of letting
the party down„easily under the anticipated
disaster in Maine, with a "table of averages"
of the votes of that State for the past four
years, as follows : •
Average Democratic vote. I - 42,587
Average Radical vote - 62,957
Average ttadt M,370
Average total vote 105,545
It is entirely unnecessary to scrutinize the
accuracy of these figures. They are proba
bly erroneous, but it suits our present pur
pose to adopt them for comparison with the
actual result. This is 'estimated at 53,000
Democratic, and 75,000 Usion=a Demo
cratic increase of 10,500 and a Republican
gain of over 12,000 !
Vermont has kept these arithmeticians
hard at work for ten days, upon, one or two
• very simple questions. But if they attempt
- the soluticin of the Maine problem, we fear
,
they will figure themselves and their Presi
dential candidate into a lunatic asylum be
fore Noirember.
THE DELHOCHATIC PAETY may shoulder
the entire responsibility for giving "one
currency to the people and another to the
bond-holder.'!. When the first proposition,
for an issue of $150,000,000 in legal tender
notes was pending in Congress in February,
1862, these notes were made a legal tender
for all debts public and private, and the bill
so passed the House, all the Democratic
members' but six voting against it in that
shape. The Senate amended the bill,ex
cepting from its operation the - interest upon
-=--bonds and •notes, Making this payable in
coin. When sent sack Ito the House, the,
amendment was concurred in, only two ,
Democrats voting against it, while forty-five
Democrats, including five of the Penrisyl
iimia delegation, voted for it. 'The affirma

five Republicans and two Democrats. Thus

It is believed that-in the election last
-
Monday the total vote must have reached
-
128,000, of which not over 5000- is the
highest estimate for the Democracy. The
latest report of the result places the Repub
lican
majority as high as twenty-five thous
-and, but whether this be due -to a still
I larger increase in the poll, or to a diminution
of the estimated Democratic strength, does
not yet appear. I .
Tire Republicans have now carried every
Congressional District, every county, every
Senator, and seven-eighths of the Represen
tatives. They have done this in the teeth
of a larger Democratic vote than ever before
giyen, accomplishing it mainly by virtue of
getting every Republican voter to the polls.
The increase of population, and correspond
ingly of votes, since 1860, cannot exce
seven percent. whichwasihe ratio of increas
for the entire decade preceding 1860. This
would give a total vote now of about 128,-
1/00 or 129,009, corresponding to the figures
actually reported. Twice before, in 1860
and 1863, the Democrats have cast over
50,000 votes, and it is very probable that the
total of 1860- 7 61,378—wi11 not be much ex
ceeded now. If that be the case, at least
3,000 votes are now changed from Democ
racy to the side of the Union.
The total vote now cast is some 9,000
greater than ever given before—not an in
crease of i 6,000, as we were led to state it
yesterday. Tne votes of 1860 and 1864
each show the Presidential majority to be
increased over that for Governor in the pre
ceding month, and-justify the confident ex
pectation that the 25,000 of September now
willbe at least 30,000 for Gnkurin Novem
ber. As the Democratic journals conceded,
before the election, that we might begin to
covret. our gains beyond 21,000, demanding
that we must reach that -figure to hold our
own, they should, in common deceney, now
abandon any effort to Cypher us out of this
gain of three or four thousand shown by
their own figures. Said PENDLETON, in his
speech to the Democracy at Bangor, ex
horting them to send the prestige of victory
to their friends in the West :
••The"eves of the whole country are upon you.
Tort will fight the first battle of the campaign. If
you win it—even if you improve noon the result of
the last year—von will give us a prestige of victory
which wlllthrlil the country with hone and sonfi
dence, and we will elm . the Pr, sidential election. • •
••Then r3et mour will be clewed, and the shouts of
your rejo•cing will be as a sign to us from Heaven.
as when. of old. the angelic choir announced to the
shepherds in the field, `Peace on earth, good will to
men.'"
Angelic choir ! There's richness for you!
How angelic they feel, just now The
"gentle cherubs" of Democracy are gnash
ing their teeth in the outer darkness, and
no one but G.a&NT can give them•the Peace
they desire.
One word more to our friends! The glo
rions triumph in Maine comes frbm a full
vole, and for that, in turn, we are indebted
to work. Let the Union men of Pennsyl
vania achieve the same results in the same
way!

THE NEW REBELLION.
•
Some months ago Majer General FRANCIS 1
P. BLAIR conceived the idea of becoming •
the Democratic candidate for President,
He aimed high, meaning teiccept, if he
could do no better, the position next below
•
the most elevated, trusting to the efficacy of
Democratic tactics afterwards to advance a
•
step and attain the' summit at his ambition:
He revolied the matter thoroughly in his
•
own mind—consulted with such of his
•
friends as were familiar with the innermost
principles and sentiments of the Democratic
party, and then, on the 30th of Juno last,
made his famous overture _in a letter to Mr.
BRODHEAD, which contained these para
.
-graphs : -•
"There is but one way to restore the Government
and the Constitution, and that is for the President
to declare hese arts nut[ and void. compel the army

In Its-lar.e and comprehensive results . . i• is the ons
thing lit Inc/tides aIL ha' is worth a contest, and
without It there Is no. bing that gives dignity, honor,
or vat lie to the struggle."
In private, throughout the western coun
ties of Pennsylvania, the Democratic lea
ders have found it politic to deny that Mr.
BLAIR el(er wrote the letter from which we
have quotd. In public, not one of them
has ventued upon this averment. If
this letter was apochryphal the nomi
nation of its reputed author by the New
York Convention would stand the most
anomalous fact in the political history of the
country; an event without a cause; a phe
nomenon beyond the possibility of explica
tion. We do not wonder, .in view of the
effect produced by it at the North, that Dem
ocratic leaders desire to consign this letter to
oblivion, or to create -the impression that it
is,a malicious invention of the Republicans;
bUt they will accomplish neither of these
ends.
Why did Mr. 131.. mt write this letter, in
voking a fresh appeal to the arbitrament of
arms? Did he do it simply because of the
extravagance, wildness and desperation of
his own nature ? or. because be:judged cor
rectly • what tones and propositions would
awaken heartiest responses among the pem
ocrats ? It' does not matter how these qua
tions are answered. The' violence was in

eat sympathy among Democrats of all
,grades, liorth as well as. South. A few
days later he was nominated by them to
the Vice Presidency; and thus a solemn
warning was given to Mr. SEYMOUn that,
in case of his election, if he should fail to
adopt the piograutme of his associate ,On
the ticket, he might prepare to encounter
the fate of HARRISON, TAYLOR and lAN
COLN.- Are not the Ku t Klua instruments
of Democratic vengeance?
But, significant as was the nomination of
Mr. Bwit,_the New York Convention did
not rest content with that consummation.
It saw proper to incorporate into its plat
form a Plea for, and justification of, the ex
treme measures of which he was the expo
nent - r ,Upon deliberation, and in the most
formal manner, it said:
_ .
e regsrd the reronqtruction acts of Congress,
so called, as usurpations, unconstitutional, revo
lutionary and void."
If these words had been employed in the
heat of extemporaneous discourse, by a half
drunken stump orator, they might have been
allowed to pass as undeserving of serious
consideration; as froth engendered by the
agitation of unwholesome waters. No such
extenuation can be urged for them. They
were i carefully selected by eminent and
thoughtful men, drawn from all parts of the
republic, and acting in. a representative ca
pacity, under circumstances of peculiar re
sponsibility. They must be taken as
indi
eating a matured judgment and a fixed re
solve. They are the courtly and solemn ex
pression of Mr. BLAIR'S flippancy and ve
hemence. What he set forth, in rough and
unstudied phraseology, the Convention con
centrated and polished into a terse and so
norous period. Ile and the Convention
were of one mind and spirit.
No sane man will contend that acts of
Congress which are clearly "usurpations,
unconstitutional, revolutionary and void,"
i. have any binding moral or legal effect upon
citizens. Nor will it be maintained that
when the majority of the citizens are of that
opinion they are under obligation to wait
the slow and doubtful procesti of judicial in
terpretation and decision. Their right in
the premises corresponds to their power,
and they may elect the short but perilous
instrumentality of force, with the risk of
anarchy, and all the possibilities of mon
archy which follow in the train of anarchy.
This is what Mr. BLAIR advised, and what
the Convention applauded and endorsed.
. The avowed eagerness of this Conven
tion, made up largely of Southern leaders
in the Rebellion and of Northern sympa
thizers with the revolt, to assert the su
premacy of the Constitution, and to enforce
obedience thereto, would be ludicrous if it
did not involve momentous contingencies
It was the Constitution that the rebels
hated, renounced, made war upon, and en
deavored to destroy. They ' commenced
their crusade against - it craftily, attempting
to subject it to such interpretations as would
emasculate it of lxll vitality; as would ,ena
ble them to do under it all' they desired to
accomplish in despite of it. Failirg in that,
they fanned the passions of the people into
a consuming flame, levying gigantic •war
against the Constitution and all who had the
manhood to defend it. Beaten, compelled
to surrender and accept the mercy of their
conquerors, they now pretend to be ani
mated by a furious zeal for the Constitution;
by la chivillrie purpose to stand forth as its
defenders' from all encroachments, masked
or overt.
There is no sincerity in these professions.
In the nature of things there cannot he.
What these men are really after is not the
submission of the whole people to the opera-
Lion of the Constitution, but a pretext fore a
fresh revolt that shall be bloodier than the
former one
This will more clearly appear when a
proper conception is attained of the form
and essense of the "reconstruction acts"
which are so truculently denounced. Con
gress has, indeed, passed certain acts for
reorganizing the participated
. States which
in the rebellion ; but these acts are neces-
Rarity transient in their operation. Seven
of those states are already restored, And are
now under the Constitution as afOretime.
The remaining three States vill! soon be re.
stored. All that will then exist, in force
and of consequence, of the Reconstruction
measures, will by the Thirteenth and Four
teenth Amendments to the Constitution,
which are permanent as any other portions
of the organic 'law. By the Thirteenth
amendment, the abolition of slavery, ongi
‘
nally decreed by military power and as a ne
cessity of the war, is legalized. By it, the
Constitution was brought into harmony with
the Declaration of Independence. By the
Fourteenth Amendment the: political' and
personal rights of all classes of citizens arc
guarantied, the existing public debt made sa
cred, as well as all future debts contracted
for the defence of the Union, and the pay
ment of bounties and pensions to soldiers
and sailors declared to be inviolable. These
are the "Reconstruction Acts" which gall
the Democratic leaders, and against which
they revolt. In venturing this broad asser
don, we do not-forget that the Convention
in the exordium to its platform, was careful
to protest that it stood
"Upon the Constitution as the foundation and
1110i:film' of the 'towers of the Govermnent. and
guara,teuof the liberty of the el'isen, anti ree
otnized the questions of slavery and secession NS
havlne been settled for all time to come by the
Southern States In Constitutional Conventions as
sembled, and never to be reuewed or agitated."
These concessions must be interpreted in
the light of what folloWs after. If the Con
stitutional ConVentions held in the South
ern States were competent so to accept the
abolition of slavery as to bind not only
their respective States, but I it cal
parties in all pg_tion: • the Union, they
were_yalid — bbilies for, all other purposes
within their recognized spheres of action,
and to pronounce the temporary acts of
Congress under whichthey were held to be
"usurpations, unconstitutional, revolution
ary and void," ' was not only unjust, but
incendiary and treasonable. We are con
segnently shut up to the necessity of re
garding this exordium as intentionally mis-
leading; designed to pacify unquiet Demo
terats, but not to bind the party in case it
should accede to the adtiainistration of the
government. Interpreting the Platform by
itself, by the testimony of those who were
concerned in framing it, and by the history
and traditions Itlf the party for which it
speaks, the conviction is irresistible that it
pledges the Deniocrats to a fresh career of
violence and 4isorder in case they shall
elect SEYMOUR And BLAIR.

THE LEGISLATURE of Tennessee having
passed the Militia bill, Gov. Buommow
will organize and call it into action, if
needed. In view of this fact, as well as of
the unflinching determination of the loyal
majority in that State, that the preservation
of peace and of submission to the laws shall
be secured at whatever cost, the President
tardily and reluctantly yielded his own per
sonally bitter partizan sympathies with the
rebels, and gave the renuistte instructions to
Gen. THOMAS to co-operate heartily with
the State _authorities. It is said that Mr.
JoiltiSON argued stubbornly against this, pro
testing long and earnestly against any Fed
eral intervention, but yielded at last when
assured by the Committee that the people of
Tennessee would hold him strictly accounta
ble for the untoward consequences of his
refusal. It is fair also td presume that the
voice of Vermont, Colorado and New Mexi
co, enforced by the elderly foreshadowed
sentiment of Maine, have had their salutary
effect in warning the President of the peril
of being himself engulphed in the great
Tidal Wave of National Sentiment in 1865.
Novi• that Maine has spoken, and to the
puipose, ANDREW JOHNSONA respect for
the Representatives of the people will be
marked still more decidedly. Upon any
favorable estimate of the chances, he is ca
pable of afiy' political cop d'etal; but when
he sees that the people are really in earnest,
he will always get out of their way if he
can. Hence, his latest stand in behalf of
Law and Order in Tenneasee, and in tha
direction his administration is likely to drift
for the residue of bisteirn.

John Teets was indicted for committing
an assault and battery upon his sister,
Mary Teets, on the 19th of June last. The
jury convicted, and the defendant was
sentenced to pay a Lino of teu dollars and
costs.
John Finney was charged with assault
and battery upon George Grow. Tho par-
ties reside at Natrona, and the assault was
alleged to have been committed in a saloon
at that Once. The quarrel resulted from a
political dieussion. Theijury found a ver
dict of gully. Finney was als) charged
with committing an assault and battery
upon Win. Fink, the assault being com
mitted at the same time. The jury found

A POLICEMAN ON TRIAL
The next case taken up was the Common
wealth vs. Matthew Keep, Indicted for as
sault and battery. Mrs. Elizabeth ,Griffith
prosecutrix. The defendant is Constable
of the First ward. It appears from the
testimony that on Sunday evening, July
12th, the prosecutrix was seen loitering
about the door of defendant's houSe, evi
dently watching some one bia house on
the opposite side, and that person appears
to have been the ,prosecutri:c's husband.
Her actions were such as to induce Keep to
order her away. She decliiied to go, and
Keep came out, took hold of her and pushed
her away. She testifies that he shoved her
down two or three times, and told her he
was an officer and if she did not go away
he would arrest her. Jury out.
MOTION TO SET ASIDE.
J. N. McClowrey, Esq., made a motion
to set aside the finding of the Grand Jury
in the cases of Roberts vs. Kilraln, cross
suits for assault and battery. It appears
that in the first case which came before the
Grand Jury a true bill was found and sent
into court. Subsequently the cross suit
came before them and the bill already
found and sent in was obtained on applica
tion to court. The jury then reconsidered
thd first case and ignored both bills. When
the bills w,-re returned to court ignoramus,
Mr. McClowrey. who was counsel for the
prosecution in the case in which a true bill
had been found, ojected to the proceedings.
The motion was entertained and will come
up for argument in due time.
Court adjourned.

HAPPINESS DEPENDS UPON GOOD
DIGESTION
"Weakness of the Stomach" is the source of more
evils than were contained in Random' Box. De
bility, headache, neryous tremors, palpitation of
the heart, and local pa'ns inn.fruerable, - are its
direct consequences. It obscures the intellect and
gives birth to tae most absurd and incoherent fin
es: I capacitates a m:n for business, and, renders
rsistent exertion next to impossible. Yet, strange
t say, ind gestion is the most teglected of all ail
ments. And this is the more extraordinary from
the fact that an absolute, infallible specific for the
disorder can be obtained in every city, town and
village of the United States.
HOSTETTER'S . STOMACH BITTERS takes as
wide a range as the malady which it curbs. It per
vades every civilized portion of the Western Htm
ispbere, and its celebrity as a Lento and alterative
is everywhere established. It l; due to the common
sense of the American public to say that the demand
for it is immense, and continually on the increase:
but still thousa• ds c ntlnue to suffer from dyspep
sia, with the great tact 6. acing them In the face that
a remedy for it exists, as it were, within arms
length of every suffe er. Such is the inconsistency
of human nature! Day by day, however. the num
ber of those who manifest this ladene indifference
to their own h. aith and comfort dimini• hes. and
the time will come, It is confidently believed when
the disease will be expehed from the category of
prevalent disorders by this incomparable alterative

CHRONIC LI.SEASES OF THE EAR.
In observations and notes taken by Dr. KEYSEit,
of this city, on the various diseases of the car, he
says that nine out of ten CaSin could be euredln
their incipiency if app' 'cation were maue to some
responsible and competent aural surgeon. The
Doctor quotes hem-the - opinion of Wilde, a well
cnown aural surgeon, who says: "I fear not to re•
iterate the assertion which I made on srivers.l for
mer occasions, that if the disease of the ear were as
well studied or understood by the generality of
practitioners, and as early attended to as those of
the eye, it would be found that they were lust as
much within the pale of scientific treatment. • •
Deafness is so common and so distressing an In
firmity, and when of long standing so incurable,
that we cannot too strongly urge all medical practi
tioners to make themse; yes familiar with the treat;
ment of the diseases of the ear: . •
The Doctor says that nearly all annoying Dis
charges, Bursitis and Morbid Growths peculiar to
the organ of the hearing, some of which had lin
gered through a score or two of years, can be cured
or ameliorated by proper treatment.
